Oh I know. I am just commenting on their Teflon nature which is all due to the PSA collectors. Just when ya think PSA cannot possibly take that position, they do and it does not adversely impact them. Collectors complain but go right back to supporting the company and they sorta have to since they are all in on PSA holders.

Not only can they thrive amid a massive scandal, they can basically shut down their operations and not be affected.

Comes as no surprise to me. Just look at the registry and that speaks nothing of those who have material amounts tied up in PSA holders who do not have registered collections. I would say they can do whatever they want and they will be forgiven.

Yeah. If the truth means your holdings take a huge hit, maybe you can't handle the truth. Probably explains much of the indifference we see out there, and PSA's cockiness in playing ostrich.

Maybe their new AI Computer Assisted Grading Will Catch These Things In the future. Will it or Will it not? Let's Hope So !

You are way more likely to get an altered card by buying it in a PSA holder than by buying it raw.

And there are people who know how things evolved over the years to the point that this is where we're at, but none of them will ever talk.

I would be interested in simplified grading if AI is used. Removing the numerical system and verifying authenticity is about all I could buy off on. If AI were able to apply actual controls and provide consistency then that poses issues for those graded prior.

For gosh sake, I would hope so.

But in this instance, no AI is even needed. Just as with thousands of other outed examples, a simple $10 Blacklight would reveal the paper filler and added color. The fact that PSA can't shell out for one of these is beyond me.
